Tax Resolution

We handle tax resolution when the IRS or your state is already involved: an audit, a bill you can’t pay at once, penalties, a lien or a levy.

Tax Resolution is quoted on the first call, before any work starts.

What we do

Audit representation: If you’re audited, we deal with the auditor for you. We review the documents they’ve asked for, go through them with you on a one-to-one call, and prepare you for what comes next.
Penalty relief: The IRS can reduce or remove some penalties, through first-time penalty abatement or for reasonable cause. We go through your records to see whether either applies, and what an auditor or a previous preparer may have missed.
Payment plans and settlements: If you can’t pay at once, we help you arrange an installment agreement or, where it fits, an offer in compromise, which settles the debt for less than the full amount.
Liens and levies: If the IRS has filed a lien against your property or levied your accounts, we guide you through working with the IRS to have it lifted.
